I've talked to people that are attending and people that work there. They're so helpful; and kind! And the school has so many opportunities for me.

the webpage gives all the information you need. you can find everything you look for in it. it looks like an incredible school, but as an international student with money problems i believe they should have auditions in other countries, so students have the opportunity to even apply.
